225188 Flt.Lt. Robert Arthur Tofts Royal Air Force 114 Squadron from:Cambridge My father Robert Tofts was a sergeant in the Volunteer Reserves. He served with 114 Squadron in Blenheim IVs. His log books show a variety of aircraft and operations. He remained in the RAF until 1964 when he retired. He was also with 55 Squadron for a time. Whilst I have a variety of photographs I am attaching a picture of the entire 114 Squadron. I am not certain when this was taken but suspect it was circa 1940. I met Richard Rook (Dickie) who died approx 4-5 years ago.
Some people may recognise some of members of the Squadron in this photograph.
Father was commissioned in 1944 and retired as a Flt/lt.
I also attach two photgraphs of my father (extreme left) with W/C Monson, Flt/Lt Adam and Flt/Lt Bedford. This was taken in January 1946 in Elmas, Sardinia. The aircraft is a Buckingham which was on a test flight at the time. Additional Information: | Great picture!

He stayed in RAF until late 60's then moved into Civilian life working for Barclays Bank until retiringNick Coote
